U.S. National Government

U.S. national government is a strong force constantly surrounding us. From the news cast you watch in the morning to the taxes you will be paying for your 3 A.M. craving. From the start, our national government was planned out and organized by our founding fathers. They had a certain goal in mind and did everything in their power to elongate the process for more generations to come. It was not at all easy with problems such as a flawed amendment process and constant money issues arising, but looking back...we've gotten this far.
Although strong, our national government has its downsides as well. One thing in particular is transparency. Our national government is very famous for being secretive and hiding their operations from the general public. The public is just as curious as someone working inside the white house. National government affects our lives and the daily activities we do as well. Along with transparency, we also need leaders who will initiate change and bring forth new ideas and plans to successfully operate our nation.
"President Obama is working to build a country and an economy where we reward hard work, value fairness, and where everyone is held accountable for what they do. He is meeting the challenges we face as a nation with a bold, comprehensive plan. And he is reimagining government to be more open, transparent, and accountable." (http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues) President Obama is a highly educated man and has many things for our future. America elected him for a reason and it is time for him to prove to his people that he was the correct choice.
